Tutorial: Paycheck cash flow
Outcome: money is planned against your real pay cycle (not a blank monthly budget). Recurring expenses, debts, and a forecast sit in one app; optional daily briefing keeps you honest. Personal or household; the same pattern works for any period-based cash plan.What you will assemble
Step 1 | Prompt in Build mode
Build a paycheck cash flow app for a semi-monthly pay schedule (15th and last business day, skipping weekends and holidays). Track recurring expenses and debts with installment plans mapped to specific paychecks. Show a forecast for the current pay period and the full month. Let me log one-off purchases. I am the only user for now.Approve when pay dates are computed (not hard-coded strings) and installments link to those dates.
Step 2 | Schedule and recurring obligations
Configure salary / pay calendar → add recurring expenses → add a debt with a repayment plan Open the forecast page and confirm the next two paychecks show the right deductions.Step 3 | Purchases and optional receipts
Add a simple purchase log. If you want receipt photos, ask Build for a background parse tool and verify under Executions.Step 4 | Daily briefing (optional)
Schedule a morning automation that summarizes: next pay date, bills due before then, and debt installments due this period. Keep it idempotent. Confirm the run in Executions.Step 5 | Access and launch
If a partner should view but not edit, add aviewer role and Preview as both roles. Then follow Launch checklist.
